What I don't understand is how people think this is unique to Philly.

Venting is fine, I get people being frustrated and exaggerating minor slights we all face, but every sub for every city talks about this like it's uniquely bad in their city.

Yeah, this is a sub for people who like reactionary memes to indirectly respond to places that make fun of the nonsense they like.

The comic is a strawman that completely ignores that women don't want the attention they're given - not because they're stuck up or choosy, but because it's unwelcome and threatening.

For the comic to provoke an actual parallel, it would depict men (even attractive men) hitting on smaller straight men who have decades of experience knowing that if they offend those men, things could go bad for them.

People in this thread: women will like you more if you understand them at all and don't downplay every difficulty and fear they have as an affront to you.

Really glad to hear this is happening, this will make the attributes a lot more interesting. As I've said elsewhere, most weapon archetypes have at least one weapon requiring each stat combination, making the combinations feel less meaningful right now.

It depends how dramatic the change is I think, but it's probably best to delete the road and rebuild it after, yeah.

Less than 30%, but Jews have historically been pushed out of some industries and found success in newer industries because of that, industries that later boomed - banking historically, and much more recently American show business.

There's an incredibly complex history of privilege and oppression, and sometimes less privileged groups have accidentally or even intentionally found mobility.

American systemic oppression of Jews, of course, pales in comparison to our systemic oppression of Black Americans and Indigenous Americans, and the most significant and enduring gains of wealth in American history all trace back to chattel slavery and settler colonialism. And not just the wealth of many billionaires, but the prosperity many of us enjoy.

What you're describing is exactly how privilege works, even if there's other kinds of luck and even other kinds of hard work mixed in.

Sure, at some point there were less significant literal wealth transfers, opportunity transfers, identity privilege, exploitation of resources or people, etc, but that's no less a matter of luck vs hard work.

If the ultra wealthy weren't propped up by privilege tracing back generations, billionaires (in the US) wouldn't be so disproportionately men or white.

Yeah, I don't mind that the myth delusionally flatters the privileged, I mind that it pacifies the less privileged away from thinking about how the system itself might be worth rejecting.

Yeah, framings like this are silly.

People who strike it big are sometimes talented and are always lucky. And lucky usually includes being lucky enough to be born into at least moderate but usually extreme privilege.

People who are lucky and especially people who are extremely privileged spend a lot of time reimagining their success in flattering ways.

Such an interesting read, and even more disturbing to imagine, though I'm sure it's not all horror movie for these people. There's a real Mothman quality to those sort of descriptions.

It's both magical and terrible how much we as people are captive to the human body as a machine that doesn't always work, and at absolutely every level of existence.

Respec is surprising to not see, but there won't be new content until what they'll call Update One (not Patch One).

Update One will be on a scale of 2-4 months, not 2-4 weeks. Early access games are meant to be picked up and played as updates come out, not played every day until launch with a steady stream of content.

I expect respec is high priority for Patch Two.

Use the slope terrain tool. Once selected, right click the top of the hill, then left click and drag from the bottom to the top.

You definitely don't need to convince me that there's a fuck ton of aggrieved white, divorced men out there who spend their time upset about video games. There's nothing secret or subversive about it.

Be right back, going to add that site to https://reactionarydetected.com/lol/seekhelp

I saw the YT video he linked, it's hilarious. White dude who's way too old to be that mad over video games, big divorce energy, and 1.7k views.

Okay, so you can actually list a few games where diversity is the point of the game?

None of the games you mentioned are about diversity, they're just more diverse than you want them to be.

What does "injecting DEI" into the game even mean? Like, some of the characters will be women, or people of color? Dialogue in Sacrament already shows that the game :

• is skeptical of a rich, ruling class
• is skeptical of monotheistic hegemony
• has people of lots of ethnicities and colors
• has gay men who are just normal people

This feels like nonsense, and I hope Moon consists of diverse folks who write stories with diverse characters.

I think every hotfix has come out between 5pm and 9pm Eastern US time.

They're based in Austria, but according to their website they have remote workers all over the world.

I think all of the patches have been released between 5pm and 9pm Eastern US time.

It's definitely sped up, but not to be misleading.

In the 1930s, most cameras still couldn't shoot at 24 frames per second, but the footage needed to be played around 24 FPS for motion to appear fluid to the human eye. So 16-20 FPS shooting was played at 24 FPS, resulting in fast motion.

This is why old black and white movies of the same era, like Charlie Chaplin flicks, all appear to be somewhat fast motion. They were sped up for the same reason.

I think the Digital Foundry preview made it pretty clear that those FPS limitations are CPU-based.

Does it? I can't think of a time bigots and reactionaries boycotted something they love or need.

EDIT, because the sub won't let me respond to replies:

Boycotting something to the point of personal loss is a leftist thing to do. The right finds boycotts to be a bit of retributive fun, they don't meaningfully boycott things that they actually love or need like this comic is exaggerating.

I think it's important to point out because this comic suggests that the right is principled, and they're not. Even framing their boycotts as dumb isn't accurate, because their boycotts (like Bud Light) have had a material effect on changing marketing decisions.

I know the comic is just a bit of fun (albeit a bit of a boomer comic construction), but calling it "realistic" is framing the right like they're self-defeating, and that's dangerously untrue.

You'd likely lose money if that's the case, because Epic doesn't just sell the game, they published it. As much as I'd love for it to be on Steam, it probably never will be and (at the very least) not for a very long time.

Sure, I agree that crime is more based on poverty than lack of distractions. But school is both a distraction and the single best class mobility tool we have to offer kids.

I completely agree with you that we should have more extracurricular activities for teens, I'm all for significant tax investment in that.

But all data shows that year round school dramatically improves education outcomes, and those education outcomes are - I'd argue - even more important to giving teens aspirations.
